THE BW YORK DEMOCRACY.
Tha Ceaveatiea at BaflaloA Commit
tee to Decide the AT alter of Contested
: , Seat Report of the Coasmittee.
' BTTFAtON Y.Sept 27. -In the Dem
ocratic con veil tiun to-day Senator
Gmdy moved that the delegates from
cheaeverr.l Congressional districts, ex
cept New York, select one delegate
from each Congressional district to act
as a committee on -contested, seats, to
- whom ahail bo referred all questions
relating to contests about seats and
chat the committee on contested seats
he made up of one delegate from each
district Dot contested, selected by the
delegates whose seats are not contested.
Upon a final vote Grady's motion was
: carried and at 2:45 the contention ad-
- journed until Tpm. : .
The convention was ' called, to order
by the chairman of the State commit
tee, Minninjr ud ' Alfred Cbapin was
elected temporary chairmen.
After the rtcesa tbe report of-. the
- committee on contest td seats was made.
After disposing of a number of con
ests the report concl odes with the
mnteraent that the committee had de
:idvd to report to the convention in
-favor ef reorganizing the New York
County Democracy as the regular Dem
ocratic organic ttion, becanse- all of its
delegates bad been elected by the regu
lar, party primaries. The Tammany
Hall and Irving Hall delegations baying
lieen returned independently 'of the
regular party process; but the commit
tee for the sake of Harmony and tbe
-nding of factional disputes had con
cluded to recommend tbe recognition
f the 24 delegates admitted by the
committee from the Tammany delega
tion and the 10 also admitted from the
living Hall delegation and confining
tie representation of the county Demo--.ris
to tbe 88 admitted by the State
committee, disqualifying the 34 dele
gates whose Beats' had beea awarded
to Tammany and Irving halls. - The re
lirt - was . received with ,' cheers. Mr
tlerrick moved the adoption of the re
port. Senator Qrady on behalf of Tam
many called for tbe ayes - and nsys on
this motion and the roll was called,
Tammany making every effort to de
feat tbe adoption for the purpose of
sec a ring tbe striking out of tbe portion
relating to the recognition of the coun
ty Democracy as the regular organiza
tion of New York county. The call
for the. ayes and nays was -made at
. John Kelley's intimation,' who objected
to tbe immediate ad options f tbe report
'without debate and. was in tbe nature
rof the case for a division npon the
question as to whether or not tbe pre
vious question be put. viz; whether or
'not the question or adoption ebould be
"voted upon, lu the roll call Irving
' Hall voted witb Tammany; Mr Kally'a
'interest in having the roll called wras
-apparently to ascertain his jexact
-strength. If found sufficient it is be
lieved he will secure an adjournment
until to-morrow.
'the roil call consumed 40 minutes of
time and resulted in - th adoption of
the report by a vote of 280 to S3. Sena
tor Grady at once moved to reconsider
the. vote and supported his motion by a
vigomua speech in which he declared
that Tammanv intended to thoroughly
tthtde by all the ruling and decfscions of
the convention but he appealed to tbe
bodr to ref cse to endorse that portion
of the report ' which recocmized tbe
county democracy of New York as re
gular as against Tammany.

"I dont care whose gogapby the com
missioners give us," remarked a little
graded school girl as she passed by our
office yesterday Ingoing ,geotTaphy
that , was almost as large as she wis,
"jess so they gives us one that is not so
biz for us to carry. -And there was a
good deal of sense in ber remark. J The
children ought to be beard in this geo
graphy quarrel and aa it has been
brought on solely inhefr Interests, the
commissioners ought' to give them A
say. If we had our street car line, a
special ear might be chartered to aael
their geographies to and zrem aehool.
but as this is one of Charlotte's future
glories, it behooves the commissioners
to look about for some other remedy.
As m medium through which they, can
work their way out of the difficulty, we
would suggest the book agent. : Let the
commissioners sort out two of tbe en
terprising kind and state the grievance
to them and notify them that sealed
proposals will be received for thirty
days. This will Insure an easy wsy
ont of the difficulty. For, Instance,
Agent Noi l might propose to1 take all
tbe eld geographies back, on even ex
.. S.aa-.aMW
cnange ana to xurnien inecnuuren new
geographies with legs npon which the
books can walkr along beside them to
school. As a matter' of course, one
book sgent never allows another to get
away with him, and ' consequently
Agent No. 2 would feel called upon to
offer a book that not only bad legs, but
would carry the children to school on
its back. It is plain to all that this
wonld be a vast improvement on the
present style and we see no reason why
it should not be adopted. It would
certainly please the children immense
ly. In behalf of the little children with
the big geographies we throw out the
suggestion to our school commission
ers, leaving it to their own good judg
ment whether or not it is worthy their
serious consideration. We agree with
the children that while this geography
question fa being agitated it should be
agitated thoroughly, that all the good
possible may res alt from it,' axuKsrith

CTBSEavxB, I notice that . there ta some
wm plaint aboot gln-cmt cotton. 1 would
like fo suggest to farmers the import
ance of having their cotton picked out
when it is in a proper condition. When
picked before it la mature the lint is
moist and heavy and pulls off the seed
in buneheavthe fibre remaining knapped
or doatled up just as tha. saws pull it
off the seed, and will not expand aa dry
cotton doee.-- Agalnr "when cotton . is
picked wniie we with dew or rain it
neither , gins clean or makes a good sam
ple.- I think most of the trouble s
caused by pickers. They gather cracked
pods and wet cotton because it ia heav
ier, and pays better, f Qixsxb.

A Deserved Xtehmke.
Mr D O BaUentine. secretary of the
Ohio Democratie State central commit
tee, ia a latter to the Springfield Globe
oontradicting a dispatch which appear
ed in that paper reporting ths critical
illness of Judre Hoadly, says:
-I want to rail the Globe's attention
ta the fact that in the campaign of 1881,
when President Garfield was stricken
down by the shot of an assassin, tha
Democrats considerately refused .to
precipitate an -open war between the
tworeat political parties in Ohio while
the President was balancing" between
life and death. - In this campaign there
ean be. no question but that Judge
Hoad ly has been very sick, but it is an
act of Providence for which neither the
Judge nor the i Democratic party is re
sponsible Yet our Republican friends
seem to feel that the anfortuoata sick
ness of ff ods Hoailyis subject fit for
ridicule, and out of which they can
extract campaign capital. The Demo
crat o party asks for no. sympathy, and
needs none ia -thls'-f jht, btcaosaltis
going to win; but common decency, I
should think, would lead the Republi
can press and rpeakers to accord at
Uzsi ssaa . shotr cf respect to a sick
rata"' - ' v.. - .. -
